It was the season before World Series Cricket and there were plenty of legends playing Sydney grade. Andy Roberts, Geoff Boycott, Allan Border, Doug Walters and Rick McCosker played much of the season. Another seven had or would play for Australia, while another 23 had played or would play Shield cricket for NSW.

It is the week Lenny Pascoe gets his call-up for Australia – he has been chosen for the 1977 Ashes tour of England. His great mate, Jeff Thomson, got that call-up five years back, and Lenny has given everything in that period to join him. Bankstown have not won a premiership in his time, and Lenny, great clubman that he is, wants one badly. Bankstown are a tough bunch, captained by Dion Bourne – uncle of Steve and Mark Waugh. Also in their side are Ken and Graham Thorpe – future father and uncle of swimming legend Ian Thorpe – and Steve Small, who is in the early stages of a fine career.
